Disability Services

It is the student's responsibility to self-disclose as a student with a disability and to request accommodations through the Counseling Department.

The Disability Services Division provides counseling and support which helps students with disabilities pursue an academic program of their choice and participate fully in campus life. The counseling office can arrange counseling, special parking, priority registration and other services needed by students with disabilities.
